Dinner Dice: 3,537,000 Ways to Eat
Say hello to Dinner Dice, a minimal and fun web app that features over 3,537,000 different ways to eat. Dinner Dice comes with 100 Vibes (textures, moods, etc.), 90 Payers (games, traits, challenges), and 393 Food Options (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack). Combine them together, and you get yourself a whole 3,537,000 ways to eat.
Short backstory
Does this conversation sound familiar? "What do you want for dinner?" "I don't know, what do you want?" (...20 minutes of scrolling in silence...)
I made this app along with my sister one day at 12:00 P.M. when we were (once again) scrolling endlessly through delivery apps. We wasted more time looking at menus than we did actually eating.
I'm a professional web developer, and she’s a great thinker. She proposed we let the code decide. Within a few minutes, the first version was born. It doesn't just tell you what to eat, but how to get it and, most importantly, who is paying.
And who knows... maybe this little idea will pay for our next meal.

Features
We realized indecision doesn't just happen at dinner. We’ve updated the app with a Smart Filter so you can roll for:
- Breakfast/Brunch: Pancakes, Waffles, Benedicts.
- Lunch: Sandwiches, Salads, Wraps.
- Dinner: The heavy hitters (Steak, Sushi, Pizza).
- Snack/Dessert: Late-night cravings.
- Surprise Me (Anything): Because we know you're bored.
🎲 What You Get
- The Vibe: From "Greasy & Cheesy" to "Fresh & Green."
- The Source: Are you cooking, driving, or ordering in?
- The Payer: The stakes are high (includes Rock Paper Scissors, Venmo requests, and more).
- One Index.html file: No installation, no complicated build steps. Works offline.
- Clean, Modern Design: Fully responsive mobile-first design with premium slot-machine animations.
- 3,500,000+ Combinations: You will literally never roll the same dinner plan twice.
